Already in the process of planning her future, Nancy was thrilled to learn about PAWS Chicago’s Guardian Angel program which guaranteed the care of her pets in the event that she and her boyfriend passed, and also enabled her to give the gift of life to homeless animals for years to come. “PAWS Chicago is unlike any other shelter I’ve seen.
